Director confirms improved visual effects for android character in Alien: Romulus home release

Director Fede Alvarez has confirmed that the visual effects for the android character Rook in "Alien: Romulus" have been improved for the home release. This change addresses concerns raised after the film's theatrical debut. The original effects, which recreated the likeness of Ian Holm, were criticized for their quality. Alvarez admitted that time constraints affected the final product, leading to a less satisfactory result. For the home release, the team focused more on practical effects rather than digital ones. Alvarez stated that the new version, which uses animatronics, is significantly better than what was shown in theaters.
